obama's failed record....

This is some pretty good analysis from a guy who was just commenting on something I was reading. Like his alias too :)  Obvioulsy, this compulsive liar has hundreds more falsehoods, but these are some good ones to remind your friends of.

obama's failed record....

In the more than 500 promises Obama made during his campaign and presidency, even the Obameter from PolitiFact -- which tends to be pro-Obama -- has this as his scorecard:

Obama has fulfilled 185 promises and left 323 broken.

Here are a few of those broken promises:

--"Today I'm pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office." (Spoken at the opening of the fiscal responsibility summit, Feb. 23, 2009.)

--"We are going to ban all earmarks." (Spoken at a news conference Jan. 6, 2009.)

--"Under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase -- not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes." (Spoken in September 2008 at a town hall meeting in Dover, N.H.)

--"I will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This will eliminate taxes for 7 million seniors -- saving them an average of $1,400 a year -- and will also mean that 27 million seniors will not need to file an income tax return at all." (From Barack Obama presidential campaign fact sheet in 2008.)

--"Lobbyists won't work in my White House." (Spoken on his Iowa bus tour Dec. 15, 2007.)

--"These healthcare negotiations will be on C-SPAN, and so the public will be part of the conversation and will see the decisions that are being made." (Spoken Jan. 20, 2008.)

--"The detention facilities at Guantanamo for individuals covered by this order shall be closed no later than 1 year from the date of this order." (Presidential executive order Jan. 22, 2009.)
